White Glow Products


As a Moreno guy, I've always embraced my natural skin tone with pride. However, like many individuals, I've also been curious about skincare products that promise to enhance skin texture, reduce dark spots, and provide a healthy glow. When I stumbled upon White Glow Products, locally made in Davao City since 2016, I was intrigued by their claims of skin whitening, revitalizing, and moisturizing properties. Could these products really deliver noticeable results for someone like me?


- WHITE GLOW PRODUCTS -


White Glow  Gluta Kojic Arbutin Hand and Body Lotion
(P310.00 SRP for 200ml | P190.00 SRP for 100ml)

I decided to embark on a skin journey with White Glow, starting with their Gluta Kojic Arbutin Hand and Body Lotion with SPF30. This lotion boasts 10x skin whitening, smoothing, revitalizing, and moisturizing benefits, along with the promise of lightening dark spots. The idea of visible results in just 7 days sounded too good to pass up.

 

White Glow Herbal Whitening Beauty Bar Soap
(P160.00 SRP)

To complement the lotion, I incorporated other White Glow essentials into my skincare routine: the Herbal Whitening Beauty Bar Soap made with unscented, organic, and 100% natural ingredients, the Facial Toner with Glutathione, Arbutin, Witch Hazel, Kojic Acid, Aloe Vera and alcohol-free formulation, the Facial Whitening Day Cream with SPF30, and the Facial Whitening Night Cream for acne lightening with moisturizing, whitening and glowing effect to the skin.

 

White Glow Facial Toner
(P180.00 SRP for 100ml)
White Glow Facial Whitening Day Cream
(P210.00 SRP for 50g)  
White Glow Facial Whitening Night Cream
(P180.00 SRP for 50g)  

- HONEST REVIEW -


I'll admit, as a Moreno guy, I approached the idea of skin whitening with caution. I didn't want to drastically change my appearance; rather, I sought to enhance my skin's health and radiance. With this mindset, I began using the White Glow products diligently, following the recommended application routines.

 

In just 2 weeks, I started noticing subtle changes. My skin felt smoother and more hydrated, and the dark spots from past blemishes seemed to be fading. While the whitening effect wasn't immediate, I could see a natural glow starting to emerge. It was reassuring to witness these gradual improvements without compromising my natural skin tone.

 

As I continue to use these White Glow products, I'm eager to see how my skin evolves over time. I understand that achieving desired results, especially in terms of skin whitening, takes patience and consistent care. Nonetheless, I'm optimistic about the potential of these locally-made products to enhance my skin's overall health and appearance.

 

One aspect that particularly resonates with me is the fact that White Glow products are suitable for both men and women. Skincare knows no gender, and it's refreshing to find products that cater to diverse skin types and preferences. Moreover, knowing that White Glow products are HALAL and FDA approved adds another layer of trust and credibility. It's reassuring to know that these products adhere to strict quality standards and are safe for regular use.

 

- RECOMMENDATIONS -


For those interested in exploring the world of White Glow, I encourage you to give these products a try. Whether you're aiming to address specific skin concerns or simply want to maintain a healthy glow, White Glow offers a range of solutions tailored to your needs. And for those who are considering becoming dealers or resellers, the opportunity to promote locally made, high-quality skincare products are certainly enticing. 


- SUGGESTIONS -


I'd like to make only one suggestion for improving the White Glow product range. While the items' performance is commendable, better packaging could enhance the consumer experience. Sleek, modern packaging not only improves the product's visual appeal but also conveys a sense of quality and professionalism. Also, consider adding user-friendly features like Pump Dispensers for the Lotion line and Disc Top/Press Top or Flip Top Caps for the Facial Cream lines to improve convenience and hygiene. Furthermore, using eco-friendly products supports the growing demand for sustainable practices and demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility. 

By paying attention to packaging design details, White Glow can build a more coherent and appealing brand image while also providing users with a joyful and hassle-free experience from beginning to end.

As a Moreno guy and as a person who loves to travel, I'm proud to embrace my skin's natural beauty while incorporating products that enhance its vitality and radiance. Here's to more weeks of skincare exploration and glowing results ahead!

Delivering the spirit of love to their Ka-pandas, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics once again granted the dream wedding wishes of their delivery partners!

 

Last year, three Ka-pandas and their longtime partners experienced wedding celebrations courtesy of 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics. This year, the love train accelerated as 14 lucky delivery partners across the country were selected to celebrate a grand wedding. “A wedding organized by us, for our delivery partners, is an unforgettable milestone in their lives that they will forever cherish,” said Ron Sanders, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics Philippines Rider Experience Lead.




Discover the romantic journeys of some of these Ka-pandas, who celebrated their unions with their better halves during the most romantic time of the year – the love month.

 

LOVE DELIVERED THROUGH THICK AND THIN 

Ka-panda Glen Oton shares his journey of celebrating love with his partner. From overcoming financial struggles to cherishing moments of togetherness, they braved life's storms hand in hand. “May mga hindi man pagkakaintindihan, pinipili pa rin naming ayusin sa dulo,” Glen revealed.

 

“Malaking tulong ang Kasalang Ka-panda sa pagkamit namin ng aming pangarap na ikasal sa isa’t isa.” In a beautiful ceremony, Glen and his partner stood before their closest friends and family, sharing heartfelt vows of love and commitment to each other.

 

THROUGH IT ALL

From highschool sweethearts to building a family together, Albert Cabañelez has been with his partner since 2004, and they have been blessed with three children. But one simple wish remained constant – to tie the knot.

 


“Hindi namin hangad ang isang mala-fairy tale na kasalan kasi sobrang sapat na sa akin ang mai-kasal sa aking minamahal at masaya kami na naibigay ito ni 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics sa amin,” Albert shared.

 

NEVER TOO LATE

Rodrigo Goyon Bongais Jr, a former tricycle driver, has shared 15 years of his life with his partner and two lovely daughters. Yet, even as their lives seem complete, there is still a missing chapter they long to unfold – saying “I do”. “Kumpleto na ang buhay namin, kasal na lang talaga ang kulang. Kaya hiling ko lang sana na maikasal kaming magpartner bago ako tumungtong ng 50,” Rodrigo mentioned. 



Thanks to 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics’ Kasalang Ka-panda initiative, a promise turned to a reality. “Sobrang natuwa ang partner ko dahil natupad na ang pangarap naming ito kasi sobrang tagal ko na talagang pinangako sa kanya na pakakasalan ko siya,” he added.

 

In addition to the wedding festivities, 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 also showered its delivery partners with generous gifts and giveaways from sponsors, along with their adorable mascot, who played the role of "Ninong" Pau-Pau.

 

Other Ka-pandas also had the opportunity to get a special Valentine's Kit to surprise their loved ones, using their hard-earned Bamboo Rewards.

 

The Bamboo Rewards program, initiated by 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮 logistics for its delivery partners, enables them to get in-app points for each completed delivery. These points can later be redeemed for various items, including vouchers, merchandise, electronics, vehicle accessories, and others.

 

“We're happy that we got to celebrate Valentine's Day with our Ka-pandas in such a meaningful way, and we hope that they treasure these precious moments,” Sanders remarked. “Kasalang Ka-panda is just one example of cherishing their unique stories and how we show that we see them, we acknowledge their journeys, and we're always thinking ahead to make their experience special."
